US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale arrived on Saturday night to Beirut International Airport on an official visit, during which he will be meeting with Lebanese officials.
A statement issued by the US embassy in Lebanon said that Hale will meet with top Lebanese officials to discuss a full range of bilateral and regional issues.
The statement also noted that Hale will also underscore “US concerns about Hezbollah’s destabilizing activities in Lebanon and the region, including the recent discovery of Hezbollah’s cross-border tunnels, which defy UN Security Council Resolution 1701, jeopardize the security of the Lebanese people, and undermine the legitimacy of Lebanon’s state institutions.”
